Nimbus, portable N64

We love a beautiful and successful N64 portable mod, (In case that fact wasn’t already obvious). And today we would like to add [cndowning’s] Nimbus N64 to our list of favorites.

The base is made from vacuum formed plastic while the buttons come from a modified superpad and the screen is a Zenith 5inch. We couldn’t find word on battery life or weight, but for those that like a hunt, or have other questions, the build logsare available. Follow the jump for a video of the Nimbus in action.

You serious osgeld?
This is actually one of the more genius designs i have seen so far.

I haven’t seen too many PS1 mods actually now that you mention others.
PStwo would be a nice target as well, with an SSD perhaps if you wanted to use an emulator for your old games as well, or back current disc games on to the drive to save having to carry 50 discs everywhere with you.
Hell, you wouldn’t even need to mod much, just slide it in a case and plop a screen on it, PStwo is already tiny as it is.
In fact, i’m pretty sure PStwo was smaller than PSone overall. (but admittedly PSones casing bulked it out a bit)

The N64 games I own are sooooo much better than anything for the NDS that I inherited. I don’t know about PSP games though. But other than the Pandora, this is probably the best handheld game console out there.
